Car crashes into auto parts store in Honea Path

A man accidentally drove his car into an O’Reilly Auto Parts store in Honea Path after mistakenly hitting the wrong pedal, said Honea Path Police Chief David King.

Several cars at a nearby Hardee’s were hit as a man lost control of his car before driving completely into an auto parts store Monday morning, Honea Path Police Chief David King said.

HONEA PATH - A car crashed into an auto parts store early Monday after hitting several other cars.

William Lee Wallen, 84, of Honea Path was driving the car when it crashed, Honea Path Police Chief David King said. No one was injured in the accident, King said.

The driver apparently hit the gas pedal instead of his brakes, the chief said.

Wallen hit several other cars in the parking lot of a nearby Hardee's before his car crashed through the front of the O'Reilly's auto parts store. It came to a rest inside the store near a display of windshield washer fluid after knocking over shelves.

The crash happened at 8:30 a.m. Monday. King said no charges have been filed.
